The Nanbokucho Katana is Now Available at Swords4U.com

Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 14, 2010

One of the latest pieces at http://www.Sword4U.com is the Nanbokucho Katana. Inspired by the Nanbokucho period of Japan, this sizeable yet elegant katana has a blade that is 2 ½ feet long and a long kissaki. The Nanbokucho period of the 14th century featured an unique level and duration of warfare in Japan. This drove the creation of ever greater and wider bladed weapons. The Odachi, or Japanese Great Sword, was born in this period. Most of these longer weapons are created to be used against mounted or heavy targets. Inspite of this design, they are designed with the Japanese warrior beliefs of speed and grace in mind. Many brands and dealers sell second-rate with poor heat treatment. Japanese swords are heated uniformly throughout the blade in order to provide them with the proper balances of strength, firmness, and flexibility. The Nanbokucho sword has an even tang from tip to hilt, echoing the customary perfection of Japanese heat treatment. The Nanbokucho Katanahas an awesome feel, whether held steady in a stance or in motion through its swing. In spite of being intended for bigger targets, it still holds on to a elegant and nimble feel. The nimbleness of the blade is suited for double cuts and other dexterous techniques. The sword is suited for pupils and swordsmen looking to advance to a more serious blade or become the master of graceful styles with a heavier blade. It is also a great find for collectors that would like to feature a few larger blades that retain the grace and simplicity associated with Japanese swords. Few swords will match the grouping of class and power found in the Nanbokucho Katana. It is one of the best large katana swords available for order and the price is unbeatable.

They offer the highest quality blades at the lowest prices and stand behind all of their products with a money back guarantee.
